Somalia’s eVisa Fiasco: Bureaucracy Without Legitimacy
When governance turns performative, absurdity becomes policy. Somalia’s Federal Government (FGS) has once again proven that it confuses control with leadership.
A misguided digital decree exposes a deeper constitutional rot. The FGS has introduced a mandatory eVisa for all foreign passport holders, including Somali dual citizens.
- Travelers must obtain online approval before boarding flights to Somalia.
- Airlines are threatened with sanctions if they carry anyone without this digital permit.
Its latest initiative — a mandatory eVisa for all foreign passport holders, including Somali dual citizens — is less a modernization effort and more an act of bureaucratic coercion.
At first glance, this seems routine, a move toward streamlined immigration. But beneath the surface lies something more troubling: a federal overreach that tramples the Constitution and exposes the fragile illusion of Somali unity.
Author summary: Somalia's eVisa policy shows bureaucratic overreach.
